Title: Improvements relating to the production of gear wheels
IPC: G01B5/20
Filed: 1923-01-20
Abstract: 214,335. Muir & Co., Ltd., W., and Melloy, J. H. Jan. 20, 1923. Surface and outline gauges.-The spiral angle of the teeth of a helicoidal gear wheel is ascertained while. the wheel is being cut by mounting upon the tool carrying slide of the cutting machine a bracket b carrying a narrow toothed wheel c that can be brought into engagement with the teeth being cut. The wheel c, which can rotate freely, has a boss on which an arm d is secured. A clock type indicator f is carried by a block g adjustable upon the bracket b and another clock type indicator i is arranged upon the . tool slide to co-operate with a dead length gauge h. In operation the wheel c is brought into contact with the teeth of the gear k being tested, the gauge h being in place and both indicators being at zero. The gauge h is removed and the tool slide travelled along the machine until the indicator i is engaged by the stop against which the gauge h was held, the wheel c rotating through its engagement with the teeth of the gear k. A bar m with adjustable end pieces is then used to measure the diaphragm between the stops on the arms and the indicator f. The bar m and gauge h are then used to test the spiral angle of the teeth of the gear that is to mate with the gear k and if error is found the work is adjusted in the machine to correct such error.

Abstract: 923,139. Disc record changers. MULLINS MANUFACTURING CO. Jan. 17, 1961, No. 1944/61. Class 40 (2). [Also in Group XIX] Disc record chart changing mechanism usable also for apparatus using gramophone or other records with additional openings 18 communicating with the usual centre holes 19, comprises a rotating centre-post 4 and a button 10 securing the records on the shaft and overlying only the central non-recording areas of the records, the button 10 having a central area smaller than the record centre holes and a penetrating portion 51 arranged to enter through the opening 18 of the outermost record and to penetrate between the outermost record and the next adjacent record when predetermined relative rotational movement between the button 10 and the records occurs, so that the portion 51 is caused to pass beneath the outermost record and to discharge it. A backing turntable 3, Fig. 2, is axially slidable on the shaft 4, being urged forward by a spring 14 to hold the records 11 against the back of the button 10. The turntable 3 is rotated by the shaft 4 through pins 21 engaging holes 22 in a flange 17 of the shaft 4. A lug 12 on the turntable 3 engages slots 13 in the records to register them one with another and to ensure that they are rotated. The timing is arranged so that the lug 12 and slots 13 are at the top when a record is released so that it can fall freely. The lug 12 is cranked to prevent the slot 13 from disengaging due to curling. The button 10 is secured at the front of a discharge shaft 8 which is integral at its rear end with a cam 25, Fig. 3, and hub 26 to which is secured one end of a spring 30 fixed to a stationary bridge 27 at its other end. The cam 25 has a radial shoulder 32 engaged by a pawl 33 pivoted on a disc 36 driven with the shaft 4 so that the shafts 4 and 8 turn together, winding the spring 30 until at the end of a revolution a triggering arrangement cams the pawl 33 free from the cam 25. The spring 30 then turns the shaft 8 and button 10 one revolution in reverse while the pawl 33 is returned to latching position. As the button 10 turns back relative to the records, the lip 51, which is offset by a record thickness from the rear face of the button, slips under the top record and lifts it over the centre of the button to fall and make the next record available for recording.

Title: Apparatus for attaching end stop members to continuous length slide fastener chain
IPC: A44B19/60
Filed: 1965-01-15
Abstract: 1,036,052. Stapling machines. TALON Inc. Jan. 15, 1965 [Jan. 20, 1964], No. 1998/65. Heading B4C. [Also in Division E2] Apparatus for attaching an end stop member S, Fig. 8 (not shown) to a continuous length slide fastener chain C having gap spaces G along its length, comprises a feed drum 75 for conveying the chain past a stapling mechanism 100 and means 44, 49 for locating a fastener element, at the end of a gap, opposite the stapling mechanism so that an end stop may be inserted adjacent the element by the stapling mechanism in timed relation with the locating means. The locating means comprises a member 49 having a knurled edge 50 and slidable in an oscillating member 47 mounted on a shaft 46, the member 49 being reciprocated by a cam member 48; the shaft is oscillated by means of a ram 67, 68. In operation, a fastener chain is threaded through a guide slot 42 above the member 49, over a stapling anvil 21 in a bracket 12, through a guide slot 16 in a bracket 15 and over the feed drum 75 which is mounted on a motor-driven shaft 76. Upon rotation of the shaft, the chain is drawn along until the end of a gap G, as shown in Fig. 3, abuts a lever 22 thereby, via a link 25, actuating a switch 28 which controls the operation of the ram 68. Movement of the piston rod 67 of the ram causes the shaft 46 to rotate thereby causing the cam 48 to move the knurled member 49 so that the elements of the chain are urged into contact with a knurled roller 44. During this movement a switch 71 controlled by a lever 69, Fig. 5 (not shown) in the shaft 46, causes a solenoid 36 to move a bell-crank lever 31 which withdraws the end 23 of the lever 22 from the gap G thereby permitting further rotation of the shaft 46 to move the endmost element under the stapling mechanism. Continued rotation of the shaft 46 causes a further switch 73, Fig. 5 (not shown) to be actuated whereby the stapling mechanism is operated to form and drive a staple end stop across the tapes of the fastener chain. At the end of the stroke of the ram a valve is operated which thereby returns the ram so that the locating mechanism 47, 49 is returned to its initial position, and the chain is moved on by the feed drum until the lever 22 drops into another gap G to initiate a further cycle.

Title: Improvements in or relating to knitting machines
IPC: D04B9/10
Filed: 1949-01-27
Abstract: 670,264. Knitting. SCOTT & WILLIAMS, Inc. Jan. 27, 1949 [April 28, 1949], No. 2290(49. Class 74 (ii). In a circular knitting machine, wrap yarns are individually tensioned and there is automatic relief of the tension of at least some wrap yarns fed to needles on which stitches of a pocket are produced during the knitting of a stocking, to prevent interference by those yarns with the location of the pocket inwardly towards the axis of the needle cylinder. During wrapping, each wrap yarn W is clamped on a plate 48 by a rail 74 of a lever 72 except when on yarn demand, the eye 70 of a yarn take-up lever 62 is so depressed that the lever engages a pin 76 and rocks the lever 72. For formation, of heel and toe pockets the wrap yarn clamps at the rear of the stocking are released (say for about three courses during transfer of the corresponding needles from upper to lower cylinder) to diminish tension on the wrap yarns, by a cam 85 which is raised to active position by the main cam drum 40 and which acts on tails 82 on the levers 72 concerned. The associated levers 62 thus rise to a position limited by their tails 64 and extra yarn is supplied to produce slackness in the cage of untaken wrap yarns outside the pocket. As the pocket is finished, an air valve 108 is opened by the main cam drum and a blast of air issues from a nozzle 128 to force the pocket towards the axis of the needle cylinder, to facilitate engagement of the pocket take-up 16 therewith. A second valve 104, controlled by the belt shipper 120, permits air to pass to the valve 108 only when the machine is operating. If a wrap yarn is exhausted, or breaks, the arm 57 of a yarn eye-carrying lever 56 moves outwardly and downwardly, under centrifugal force, to engage a stop motion. Specification 658,955 is referred to.

Filed: 1974-01-17
Abstract: 1487070 Fuel reserve devices for vehicles F T RIDDY 7 Jan 1975 [17 Jan 1974] 02321/74 Heading B7H A reserve fuel arrangement, e.g. for placement in the fuel supply line from the vehicle fuel tank to the engine, comprises a reservoir 10, a fuel inlet 19 for supplying fuel to the reservoir, and a fuel outlet 20 for conducting fuel from the reservoir; at least the fuel outlet being movable from an upper region of the reservoir to a lower region to draw on the reserve of fuel held in the reservoir. As illustrated in Fig. 3, the reservoir is journalled in a U-shaped bracket 15 for rotation about its axis which in use will be substantially horizontal. Inlet and outlet pipes 19, 20 terminate adjacent each other within a cup 23 fixed to the interior of the reservoir. The position of the cup 23 can be selected by rotation of the reservoir until projection 17 is located in an appropriate dimple 18. With the cup positioned as in full-lines, Fig. 2, the fuel supply will initially in part pass through pipes 19 and 20 with the remainder filling the reservoir. When fuel supply via pipe 19 terminates, the level in the reservoir will drop and fuel will be supplied only via hole 24 at a reduced rate so that performance will be affected and thus alert the driver who will rotate the reservoir to the Fig. 3 position to make use of the fuel reserve. As a last resort the reservoir can be moved to the broken-line position of Fig. 2. Rotation may be effected from a remote location by means of a "Bowden" cable. Markings on the reservoir, e.g. raised pips, may be provided to indicate the operating positions. In an alternative embodiment (Fig. 4, not shown) the cup 23 is not present and the first and second pipes are integral and communication between the reservoir and the pipes is facilitated by one or a plurality of apertures at or adjacent the junction of the pipes. The outlet pipe or the inlet and outlet pipes may be rotatable relative to the reservoir, which will then be fixed, between an upper and a lower position in the reservoir. The reservoir may be a rectangular parallelepiped, or an elongate container. In the latter case, inlet and outlet may be provided at opposite ends so that the container is rocked to bring the reserve into use. In a further modication the outlet may be slidable relative to the reservoir between the upper and lower regions.
